I've just finished the DRAFT OUTLINE of the story, and it looks like I'll have 14 encounters.

7 weeks to build.  Need to finish 2.5 per week to allow time for testing, texture pack, trailer, and other things that start with t.

Can someone paste me a link to:

Diagram or video of a redstone circuit that counts an input up to 5 times, and then turns on an output?

[Lukeys]

what do you mean by encounters?

do you mean like my spot the difference map?

[utenan]

I am intrigued!

Midday Nov. 6

Added a very basic banner, revealing the map title.
If you'd like to make me a better banner, please feel free!  I probably won't fix it up until nearer the end.

100% of design complete

16x texture pack is 33% done.  If Mojang supports 32x without patching, then I may switch to that resolution.  Wouldn't mind finding an expert texture pack partner.

Prototyping for most simple mechanisms is done.  Thanks to Jigarbov for some advice.

I have a seed, and about 5% of the landscape.  Nothing "built" yet.  

Unlike Mars Mission, where I created most of the textures "just in time" as I built each encounter, this time I've outlined all of my target textures and where they'll go.  Creating the textures first, and then building with them already existing.   Not yet sure which is the better approach, but I'll know in a few days!

[pixelbits]

can't wait!

[JamieH93]

Just saw your video!

All i saw was that robot? of toys in the background.

Can't wait!

[Lukeys]

i had a feeling this would be Christmas themed XD, is it going to be film based?

I wouldn't call myself an expert but my textures are decent and I'd be willing to help. Fair warning, never done 32 before, just 16 and 64. Strange how that sort of thing works.

"Link Master" just got an email with a high level storyline sneak peek.  (Link Master was the first person to find my secret puzzle ending in Mars Mission).

I'm going to be doing some texture pack testing tonight - and hoping to share some screenshots here!

For texture ideas!

[rsmalec]

The 'storyline' is getting longer and longer.  I think it's about two-thirds written.
It will be on all in-game signs (like Mars Mission or Eronev Mansion).

I believe I'm going to need over 150 signs so far.  Good grief!
I'm slightly worried that I'm not going to have enough physical room to put them all along the path of the seed I had planned to use.
